Late Start Courses Available this Spring

GODFREY – Lewis and Clark Community College is offering a slate of 12-week, late start courses that will give students a second chance at a full schedule beginning in February.

All six are transfer-ready general education courses being offered either online or through Virtual Class Meetings, in which students meet in a virtual environment, like Zoom or Blackboard Collaborate, during scheduled class times. Online courses are asynchronous, with no scheduled class meetings.

“Late start provides an excellent opportunity for students who still haven’t registered for spring to take a full array of general education courses at Lewis and Clark,” said Interim Chief Academic Officer Jill Lane.

Students can register for five of the classes and have a ready-made schedule, or enroll in however many they choose. Courses begin the week of Feb. 15 and end the week of May 10.
